Pretty crazy lookin'..Jim that is one fine lookin' bike, to bad pics. don't show that kinda paint to it's full effect B)

[crazyjim]

Thanks Brian. I keep telling myself to take at least one pic in the sunlight of each build, but I always forget.

Very nice built and great detail over all even when one knows that the 1/12 bikes has less detail than possible in this scale.

[crazyjim]

Thanks Ulrich. I have thoughts for the next one to have ridges on the fender tops and maybe on the tank too. I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate a taillight between the fender and tire. Not much room there. I also want to try drilling holes in the single downtube.

Cool chopper! Excellent work on the scratch building.

When I read "Shifty Chopper" though, I expected to see a suicide shifter on it. I haven't seen a bike with one of those in years and years. Hmmm, wonder why?

Thanks, David.

My ex-brother-in-law is an old Harley nut. He has 12-15 of them at any one time. He insists on suicide shifters and kick starters on his bikes. I watched him get kicked back once and he flew over the handlebars. He's about 6'4" and 250 lbs. I can't remember laughing so hard.

Hard-Core can have its drawbacks!

......Maybe a sliver of a hoodscoop like a '67 GTX or '70 Super Bee might fit between tire & fender?

Very Nice Bike Jim...

I have all of the reissued MPC Choppers that I need to do... Love those kits, just can seem to get them started... but you have inspired me to get them out again!

[crazyjim]

I'll have to think about the hoodscoop, Bart. My mind has been telling me flat styrene.

Thanks, Glenn. I don't think I've ever seen the MPC Choppers, but I'll tell you, those Revell choppers are fun kits.

[Jantrix]

Great work Jim. I hope to see it in the flesh someday.

[crazyjim]

Thanks, Rob. I plan to take it to IPMS in Orlando and then the MAGS show in Tampa.

[Kanedge]

Great looking bike, nice work.

[crazyjim]

Thanks, Kane. Those bikes are fun builds.
